Re: ID HELP
Try looking up Picea glauca 'conica' AKA dwarf Alberta spruce.

Re: ID HELP
Does not seem to be used much as real bonsai - probably a bit hard to shape and slow to develop - but they should maintain that neat conical 'christmas tree' shape with little effort if that is what you want.

Re: ID HELP
Twenty dollars, pretty good, but they are renown for mislabeling starter bonsai. I saw a azalea with a ilex label on it. Or they just put cedar on labels, well there are not many cedars but nevertheless to a beginner? Picea is spruce. Glauca I always thought meant white. But I have a 20 year old Picea Albertini Conica. Bought as a small Christmas tree 17 years ago for $15.00 Planted out in the garden and ignored, doesn't grow big. And personally looking at its shape and do not intend to style it and remove its branches. I'll leave it as meant to look like.
